I've got two, one for a M700, and one for a Savage 110E. I really like them both. Just like a slimmer HS, but with checkering, and a better recoil pad. People praise Mcmillan, but they are more than twice the cost, and take 6 months to get. Not to mention, the two mcmillans I owned were not inletted right, and the finish looked like crap.
I initially had some bad experiences with B&C. Some of the newer stocks are better, but I still don't see any advantage to buying a B&C over most factory stocks. If I want a sythetic the primary reason is to cut weight. A McMillan edge my cost 2X as much, but it will be a full pound or more lighter than a Medalist. Saving $300 is not a bargain if it offers no advantages over what I already have. I wouldn't buy a standard weight McMillan for the same reason. If needed a replacement stock and weight were not a factor I'd just buy a $100 Boyds laminated stock.
